about the total, I am only in this for the scientific side of it, though I am
more interested in the statistical side of the house at this point, as I am
sure I will not be the one to find E.T. I'm also sure, statistically, no one
on this list will be the one. It's also, statistically, almost a given no one
on this project will find E.T. But we are all still trying. So we have to make
sure of one thing here, this project is a proving ground for all S@H projects
to follow & the protocols must be in place to insure the WU with the E.T.
signal on it is not "sent to ground" because it looks like Radio Frequency
Interference. This work unit & work units of a similar nature would need
to be processed using a more robust algorithm or even examined by an
human, most likely looking at the whole tape rather than just this small chunk.
I would also imagine most of the follow on analysis would need to be done
looking at the "masters" rather than the "chunked" data.
To make a long story short, E.T. will PROBABLY not be found by this project
but if the methods are perfected by this project, S@H II will have a much higher
probability of success, sticking our heads in the ground when something
unexpected/different happens, doesn't help.

One other thing Bill, were working for a higher purpose here not just total
completed WU count. You can have my combined 11740, I just wanna find ET!

The WU's that complete rapidly are ones that
have calibration signals injected. I think the
data is still good though (real radio noise
data)??
Well, if the noise is also injected then I can
see why they would be processed so
quickly! No reason to run those for more
than a short time with generated (injected)
signal in white or gaussian noise.
